The verse says what it says. The Lord is coming for JUDGMENT!!! It is explicitly stated in the verse you just cited. Christians have been confessing that since oh long before the AV was written.
You presume a time sequence and date setting from one line of scripture If that be the case then your problem arises from Eisegesis of the text.

***If that be the case then your problem arises from Eisegesis of the text.***
Oh, brother. The verse is explicit. How long should I wait for you to instruct me in the Greek? Oh, and as topcat pointed out, nowhere in the verse can be found this dispensational idea of a future kingdom.
***You presume a time sequence and date setting from one line of scripture.***
I presume nothing: 2 Ti 4:1 [The Lord Jesus] shall judge the quick and the dead AT HIS APPEARING.
I’m just reading. Can’t help that if it doesn’t meet with your expectation of what the verse should say, but doesn’t.
Umm, and how many times must something be said in Scripture for it to be true? Not that there aren’t other verses which teach that the Lord is coming for judgment. People do love to cite that every teaching is established by the word of two or more. ;) But, really....
How many times does it have to be said before the Bible is no longer lying?
This is the problem of projection. It’s a common disorder among futurists. E.g., claiming eisegesis of your opponent while ignoring the fact that you are reading a futurist millennial kingdom into a passage where it clearly does not belong.
You’ll never discover the truth until you overcome it.
